The rules for Vyvanse (lisdexamfetamine)
Swissmedic recommends, but does not require, a medical certificate from non-Schengen travellers, with a 30-day supply cap and no import permit. Lisdexamfetamine (Vyvanse, Elvanse) is named in List a of the Narcotics Lists Ordinance (BetmVV-EDI, Annex 2, page 33), so the general rule applies: a valid prescription, a 30-day quantity cap, and a Schengen Article 75 certificate, or an equivalent form for non-Schengen arrivals.
Maximum supply: 30 days (30-day supply cap (Swissmedic); same regime as other psychotropic ADHD stimulants)
What to do
- valid prescription
- Schengen certificate (Schengen Agreement applicable). This is issued by your own country of residence and only covers travel between Schengen countries, so if you are flying in from Australia you cannot get one and do not need it.
